Press Release Body = Hitler and Historical Truth in World War II


Was Adolf Hitler\'s rise to power an experiment in distorting historical truth and
using it in propaganda to control and create fear in the German and European public?


MEIN KAMPF\'s editorial preface warns:
\"... MEIN KAMPF is a propagandistic essay by a violent partisan. As such it often
warps historical truth and sometimes ignores it completely. We have, therefore, felt
it our duty to accompany the text with factual information which constitutes an
extensive critique of the original. No American would like to assume responsibility
for giving the public a text which, if not tested in the light of diligent inquiry,
might convey the impression that Hitler was writing history rather than propaganda..
\"
Adolph Hitler, and his NAZI propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels warped historical
truth by ignoring it completely, and stressing favorable and unfavorable truths to
cause tension and hate between different groups of people.

MEIN KAMPF\'s editorial introduction informs us historical truth was ignored
completely for over 14 years;

\"Until now the only version of MEIN KAMPF in English has been a condensation of the
complete book, published in 1933 [under the title MY BATTLE, prepared by E.T.S.
Dugdale in England], containing less than half the total text...There are
undoubtedly passages of great importance which now appear in English for the first
time. For example, Chapter V, of the condensed version left out the whole of what
Hitler describes as his wartime reflections on propaganda and on methods for
fighting Marxism. We have marked at various points in the text the important new
material. Furthermore, any abridgement must necessarily fail, in proportion to the
degree of its condensation, to give the full flavor of the author\'s mind. Even the
repetitions have their significance in conveying a sense of the character behind
them. MEIN KAMPF is, above all, a book of feeling...The translation here offered is
from the first German edition - the two volumes respectively of 1925 and 1927, which
are now quite difficult to obtain...\"

Was Hitler\'s rise to power a psycho-political operation planned and coordinated by
members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Institutes of International Affairs,
and Institutes of Pacific Relations?

On September 12, 1939, the Council on Foreign Relations began to take control of the
Department of State. On that day Hamilton Fish Armstrong, Editor of Foreign Affairs,
and Walter H. Mallory, Executive Director of the Council on Foreign Relations, paid
a visit to the State Department. The Council proposed forming groups of experts to
proceed with research in the general areas of Security, Armament, Economic,
Political, and Territorial problems.

The State Department accepted the proposal. The project (1939-1945) was called
Council on Foreign Relations War and Peace Studies. Hamilton Fish Armstrong was
Executive director.

The Council\'s wartime work was confidential.

CFR member William L. Langer was OSS branch chief for Research and Analysis. William
Langer used the technique to produce a psychological profile of Hitler, as part of
Donovan\'s Top Secret OSS study 21. Langer was a key figure in the intelligence
community. William L. Langer was one of ten editorial sponsors of the American
Edition of MEIN KAMPF (1939).

Why wasn\'t a translation made available to the English speaking people until 1939?

William Langer, Allen W. Dulles, and Arthur Sweetser were members of the Council on
Foreign Relations Peace and Aims Group. Arthur Sweetser, became the Deputy director
of the Office of War Information. Sweetser and Langer also worked together as
members of the Political Group with John Foster Dulles, Allan\'s brother.

General Donovan and Allen Dulles made a career of trying to have the Director of
Central Intelligence assigned to the Office of the President.

This article is to make people think about the knowledge they are provided.

People\'s actions are strongly influenced by their knowledge base. People act on
their beliefs. Knowledge can make for independence if it helps people meet their
world more confidently and realistically.One can manipulate a person\'s actions by
corrupting their knowledge base; by warping historical truth; or ignoring it
completely. Those who have wanted others to remain dependent have always recognized
this fact and have opposed the spread of knowledge.




Dedicated to Preserving American World War II History

The United States World War II War Correspondents Military Museum is a pending 501 c
3 nonprofit Association dedicated to building and operating the first educational
interactive \"You Are There\" WWII museum. As part of the national outreach and
publicity campaign, the museum is going to compile a eleven books series of "I Was
There" WWII books using the words and pictures, in a dateline form, of several US
leaders and WWII war correspondents in major US military theaters.

Our goal is to present WWII historic events, with WWII historic and common
serviceman personalities, using eyewitness accounts by WW II war correspondents
(what was it really like) described in a way that shows the human side of these
events, the nuts and bolts of the drama, courage, fear, humor, love, tragedy, and
the patriotism of the American serviceman and the American people.

a bridge to link the human side of the battle front to the home front: with WWII War
correspondent's books, radio stories and news columns. Honoring the home front
efforts; through the eyes and thoughts of home-front correspondent's books,
magazines, and news columns.

As historians begin to appraise World War II more fully the impact that American
generation had on the world, the graphic day-to-day accounts, books, and
recollections written by correspondents will offer a fresh, vivid perspective that
has not been seen by the public since 1945.

The monthly chronology by year was conceived as an outline of the period of events
from 1938 -1945 with the use of "Eye Witness reporting of those event using diaries,
books, and news stories written by World War II Correspondents and important
individuals" and is intended to be historically definitive account of those events.
